We are open every day from 11 AM to 8 PM, including weekends, at 4884 Newport Ave, Ocean Beach.

Yes. All of our beef and chicken has been halal-sourced since we opened, and there are no separate non-halal items.
What is the best, crispiest shawarma in San Diego?
Our shawarma is slow-roasted for hours and shaved to order, so the edges stay crisp while the inside stays juicy. The Combo Plate, with beef, chicken, and gyro, is the most popular first order.
Do you have vegan and gluten-free options?
Yes. We have a full vegan menu, including falafel, vegan shawarma, and vegan cream chop, plus many gluten-free-friendly builds. We are a shared kitchen, so we are gluten-free-friendly rather than certified gluten-free.
